THAT ~''OUTRAGE."

It seems that none of the leading jour
nails of New York, except the Tribune. in.
dulge in abuse of Lieutenant-Gov. Jones oil
that State for his firm insistance on the re.
ception OF the Governors message on the
22d inst. The New York Star, in speaking
OF the matter, says: Some of them, while
considering that the blame rested prin-
cipally upon the Republican senators,
''who howled like dervishes." contend that
the Lieutenant-Governo had mo right to
read the message himself" In this they
are distinctly wrong. The Chair and the
clerks desk are a part OF the machinery
of the presidency of the Senate. The clerk
and his subordinates are necessarily under
the orders OF the presiding officer, and when
the President gives a direction which the
clerks contumaciously refuse TOT execute, it
is the duty of the Chair to supply as best
he may the omission, which would be
fatal to the conduct of the business of the
Senate. If Republican senators thought
the Lieutenant-Governor wrong in his de-
cision that the message should be received,
it a their place to appeal from the ruling
instead of raising q small riot by way of
asserting their own position and disgracing
the State"

cratic fold. Az q rule they vote in q body
and make center shots. This il the secret
OF their success in places where they are
numerically the weaker party. They know
the value OF unity in action. and profit by
their knowledge.
1t is time Democrats should recognize
these facts: That to. carry q Territorial,
county. township or city election they
should Loyalty stand by their party nomi-
nations; that in scattering their forces they
strengthen the enemy; that in voting for an
opposition candidate they stultify them
selves and violate their political faith and
that in ignoring the action of their party
convention they weaken their own cause
and give substantial aid and comfort to
the enemy. Such action is unwise, impol
itic, ~disorganizing and leads to defeat
In view of these facts, and no one car
~gainsay them, the duty OF the Democracy
of Butte is clear. Stand by the ticket, vote
for every man upon it and victory will
perch itself upon the Democratic standard
he first Monday in May.

THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

The Democrats of Butte awe a duty to
perform in the ensuing election which they
ought not to ignore and that is to stand by
work for and vote the entire Democratic
ticket without a scratch. If this be dom
every candidate upon it will be elected, and
every candidaoe upon it should be elected
They are all able men, true men. represen.
tative men and Democrats who were placed
upon the ticket by a convention created
by the established rules and presidents OF
the party. In no single instance do the
Republicans present a stronger or ADLER
nan Tor the suffrages of the electors OF
Butte, therefore, that reason for scratch
ing" does not exist.
There are those who justify scratching
upon the popular iallacy that 'there is no
politics in city elections" This is a seri-
u mistake. the effect OF which is the
obstruction Of the very foundation OF party
organizations. The Democratic party re-
presents t~ime-honored principles and poll.
cies in government dear to the great masses
OF the people. In order to preserve those
principles pure and intact and to incorpor-
ate them in the laws of the land it is neces-
sary to preserved the organization. the pres
tige and the unity of the party. This can
not be done by scratching candidates re-
gularly nominated by it. On the contrary
the practice demoralizes a party, dividesi it's
power, destroys it's effectis eness and prestige
and in the end disrupts it's organization.
In the old days when the once powerful
bat o dead Wing party was pitted
against the Democracy, party lines were
strictly drawn, and a scratched ticket,
even at tow election, va a nine days
wonder. The Republican party. which alb.
sorbed about all the Northern Wings, alb
sorbed also their fealty to party ~organiza-
ton. Republicans do but little scsatching. |

their kind hearted brethren. in the Demo-

When large Taxpayers consent to run
for municipal Offices it is an evidence the
people are waking up to the Importance OF
placing the management of the affairs Of
the city in the hands of men
who are vitality interested in it's ad-
vancement and prosperity. The time has
passed in Butte when comparative stran-
gers whose home is where their blankets
happen to be, can run the city govern
ment. The people now demand tried, ex-
perienced and responsible men to manage
the city affairs. This is why such men are
placed upon the Democratic ticket. and
this is why the Democratic ticket will be
elected.
